Anecdotally it seems like there are quite a few consumers that don’t want or won’t buy EV’s at this point. The reasons are too expensive, worries about charging, range, battery life, etc. It is in the best interest for manufacturers to sell consumers a product they want to buy and if consumers don’t want to buy EV’s-…

This is the primary thing, people seem to forget Tesla burned 10's of billions or more before it got to the point of making any profit at all.  If it weren’t for musk and investors just heaping cash into the fire to keep it going Tesla would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Because it is a forced transfer of money from one company to another for no measureable outcome.  

Are you OK?

It’s neat to look at, but to me it’s ND at any price. This thing is one major hiccup away from being a $4,700 paperweight.

“If you’d told me a few years ago that hybrid cars would be the talk of the town in 2024, I’d have laughed in your face.”

Yeah, I’ve talked about this before and I’ll talk about this again.

I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet. They were (as far as I can tell) only keeping Musk around because of his ability to pump the stock price. He has nothing left to offer in terms of tangible benefits to the company, the research or the product. He is now a marketing liability.…

Full Disclosure:

I feel like this is more accurately called a furlough. But layoffs get more clicks. 

1st: Polestar cut off more than it could chew and promised a lot in a short period of time.

What in the hell is happening to this site? I feel like its on life support. Did Nice price or no Dice just disappear? Our avatars got deleted. And a lot of stories now verge on pure click bait. Depressing.

The 10 mile over limit gives room for passing on 2 lane roads, which need to be done as expeditiously as possible.

This is not good, the more and more we let the government force their way into our lives the worse we put ourselves. Sure maybe right now all they’re doing is enforcing the law, but what happens when they decide to just shut off your car. Sure, maybe it’s not a possible scenario now, but what about in the future? The…

Yeesus, Bradley. This article is bad, your take is bad & short sighted, and your responses to the comments seem to be the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I,” second grade playground chat. Gosh, coming to Jalopnik is like opening the fridge 100 times when you are hungry hoping that something delicious…

Because of that, they’ve got a long way to go to win U.S. market share.

I’m genuinely curious how you know that. That seems like a VERY complicated thing to calculate.

With enough lube you can get one up there.

The per-passenger vs. airlines thing is ridiculous. People get on a plane for 3 hours and then get off, you’re living on this thing for a week. Using A to B travel emissions doesn’t make any sense for a comparison.

Right? Jalopnik has become just as insufferable and unapologetically progressive (in the worst way possible) as the rest of the former Gawker properties have been for a while. Shame, this was once such a top notch, car enthusiast-oriented blog.
